Wiring unit

Abstract

A wiring unit 1 is housed in a case of an electric connecting box. The wiring unit includes a plurality of flat circuit bodies each composed of an insulating plate 21 and a plurality of bus bars 22 extended in parallel, and a short-circuiting member 23 composed of a pair of pin segments 24 and a coupling segment 25 for coupling them. The short-circuiting member 23 is formed in a -shape. The pin segments 24 are stuck into the bus bars so that the bus bars 22 are electrically connected to each other. In this configuration, the wiring unit can be manufactured at low cost and can be downsized.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A wiring unit comprising: 
       a plurality of flat circuit bodies each composed of an insulating plate and a plurality of conductors arranged there on in parallel in a direction thereof, the circuit bodies being stacked successively vertically; and  
       a short-circuiting member composed of a plurality of pin segments and a coupling segment for electrically coupling the plurality of pin segments with each other, the short-circuiting member being made of a conductive material and covered with an insulating film on its surface, wherein  
       the pin segments with the insulating film partially removed are stuck into the flat circuit bodies so that the conductors are electrically connected to each other.  
     
     
       2. The wiring unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the short-circuiting member is formed in a -shape with a pair of pin segments, and the interval between the pin segments is smaller than that between inner edges of the conductors adjacent to each other and larger than that between outer edge of the conductors adjacent to each other. 
     
     
       3. The wiring unit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the conductors of at least one of the flat circuit bodies protrudes from its end to form a male tab which can be connected to an electric wire electrically connected to an external appliance. 
     
     
       4. The wiring unit according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the conductors of at least one of the flat circuit bodies protrudes from its end to form a male tab which can be connected to an electric wire electrically connected to an external
